Professor Ramey performs research in
the areas of structural design (including computer-aided
design), structural testing, fiber reinforced concrete,
and biomechanics. His work in computer-aided design is directed
toward interactive active design methodologies. He has conducted
tests on timber-concrete composite beams, fiber reinforced
concrete seismic joints, prestressed concrete anchorages,
bridge pile extensions and other structural members. Recent
work has included an assessment of prison construction in
California. His work in biomechanics focuses on human jumping
and rehabilitation. Recent work has emphasized the incorporation
of engineering design methodologies for improving human
movement, especially jumping.
Dr. Ramey has been the recipient
of the College of Engineering Outstanding Faculty Advisor
Award; the College of Engineering Magnar Ronning Award for
Teaching Excellence, and the College of Engineering Outstanding
Teacher-At-Large Award; the UC Davis Black Student Inspiration
Award; and the student chapter of the American Society of
Civil Engineers (UC Davis) Outstanding Teacher. Dr Ramey
was slected by US Black Engineer & Information Technology
magazine (www.blackengineer.com)
as one of the "50 Most Important Blacks in Research
Science" for 2004.
